Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”

    “The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve.

    Immanuel Kant
    “Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another.

'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.”
    Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?
